And that's another rant of mine, which I know I've said before, but since this is our general rant thread, I hate how modern society has taken the word "curves" COMPLETELY out of context! Women are SUPPOSED to have curves, that's how they were made, so when someone talks about a woman being "curvy", it's SUPPOSED to be a compliment that they have a nice figure, but today, society (well, mostly Hollywood and the media,... which society seems to like to base itself on), has turned the term "curvy" into a politically correct way of saying a woman is fat, and today, apparently women who DO have nice figures are considered "fat" anymore, whereas women who basically have the body structures of little boys are the ones who are supposedly sex symbols these days.

As far as "meat" goes, I don't know why, but I actually kind of have a slight weakness for what's refered to as "bat wings".

And now for yet another one of my same-old-same-old rants that usually Drtooth and heralde tend to weigh in on with their own opinions that are basically, "True, but the thing of it is..." kind of thing...

Have you seen the promos or heard about this new "sitcom" on ABC called Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23? This, and this alone, is the exact kind of garbage I am SICK and TIRED to DEATH of seeing on television all the time anymore! Apparently, it's about this... well, she's not really a "lady-of-the-evening", but let's just say, she's like the female equivilant of Charlie Sheen from 2.5 Men... I mean, there's already too much of this kind of situation on TV on random, occasionally occurances like on practically every Chuck Lorre show, or any show for that matter, scripted or unscripted, but now this: an entire sitcom devoted to that kind of situation (even moreso than Charlie Harper's lifestyle).

Where is the FCC? WHY do they continually allow this kind of garbage to pollute the television landscape all the time? Why does this kind of garbage have to be glorified to the point that it isn't even considered morally reprehensible anymore? When is enough going to be enough?

I agree, what is ABC thinking?! It's being shown after modern Family tonight so it gets more recognition. When I heard the title for this show, I just knew it'll be dumb. I sometimes have no idea what is going through their minds when they air such stupid things. Even their good shows have been just.. ridiculous. (Have you seen Modern Family this season?). And what with that show, Last Man Standing. I surprised it didn't get cancelled, does anyone watch that? (They probably don't have anything to replace it with.)
Probably be cancelled next week if not, I give it four episodes max.

Ugh, I agree. It looks like complete and utter crap and it will definitely be cancelled. I mean seriosuly, why waste money on crap like this?

And you know, even though I think perhaps Chevy Chase is going a little overboard in his tirades, I think he does pretty much have a point... a couple of weeks ago, my dad and I ended up seeing an episode of community... when it was over, we looked at each other and said, "What did we just watch?" It's not funny. It makes no sense. Why is it on TV?

Yeah, I'm kinda thinking that too. I kinda liked the show when it started, but it ain't good anymore.
And Chevy Chase's lines are just..stupid. He doesn't say anything funny. Why is he there? The other characters aren't funny either. It seems people like this show.
(P.S. Is that the same Chevy Chase that's in Follow that Bird? (as the news reporter))?

I don't think anyone would care about Don't Trust The B---- In Apartment 23 if it was called Apartment 23 or something more plain. It's part of a marketing scheme by ABC to drum up attention. Look at Cougar Town; I haven't watched a lot of it, but I've gathered it's not about the "cougar" lifestyle, but a fairly typical sitcom. ABC likes giving their shows tawdry titles (GCB anyone?).

I never even heard the "Don't Trust the B----" part of the title until the last couple of days or so, I saw promos for it weeks ago, and they only refered to it as "Apt. 23", but even then, all I could do was shake my head and try not to bang it against the wall.

*shrug* Why do you guys even WATCH TV anymore? Despite the Count's proclamation, it is still and will be evermore a "wast vasteland". Wouldn't you rather be reading, or writing, or puppeteering instead??
